In 2001, Vladimir Putin confessed to being a huge fan of the "La Femme Nikita" star, whose career began as a model in Australia and Europe. Although her career has not been illustrious, Peta Wilson was the first woman I experienced in a TV show who played a character that broke some of the molds of "badass women." Also, she often wore dark lipstick, and who didn't love that fad?

My favorite role played by Naomie Harris is as Eve Moneypenny in the Daniel- Craig-as-James Bond movies. This British actress graduated from Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1998 with a degree in social and political sciences. 

After high school, Hugh Jackman spent a year teaching Physical Education. He returned to study at the University of Technology, Sydney, graduating in 1991 with a BA in Communications. In his final year of university, he took a drama course to make up additional credits. ​​This led him to his future at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

Although I didn't realize this until 2018, I was predestined to love Hugh Jackman because I love the woman who became his wife. Deborra-Lee Furness played the mother of my childhood crush David in Disney's "Newsies." I wouldn't encounter Hugh Jackman until he played Wolverine, in the X-Men film series from 2000 to 2018, for which he holds the Guinness World Record for "longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero."
